Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff

 
Here we go again. But wait, are we picking on President Trump or trying to explain him? It would seem this author, Michael Wolff, is writing a book to explain Trump.
  Wolff spent some time tracing Trump and observing the activity around him.
 Up to this point Wolff seems to have been writing books exposing other great figures. And with this book, Fire and Fury, he may have hot a jackpot. But you have to ask yourself, how much of this is true? It comes down to how much can you trust the media? Forget the rant and raving Trump makes about the media. Just how much truth does the media actually put out?
   The left has for along time been allowed to infiltrate the news media both in print and on the air. It just sells better. And since our schools no longer as a whole are training students to think but to accept without questioning what some grownup at the front of the room or who writes a book says as proven truth, how are we to know just how much of what Wolff discloses is true truth.
   How are we to know which details disclosed are true and which ones are bias?
   The answer is , we can't
   But the first step is to discern.
   If what Wolff has written is true we have a person in the White House now who doesn't know what he got himself into. If that is the case we need Christian to pray for him and for the vice president to get us through the next few years without destroying America and its' foundation.
    I would be very careful about accepting the facts presented in this book as true truth. Read with an open mind.
   Try to get this at a library and read it. I am not sure it is worth having in your personal library as something to keep.
   Should you decide to buy it at your local book store it is your money. Save yourself the cost.

Shattered by Jonathan Allen & Amie Parnes

Shattered is aptly named because this is the story of what turned out to be the Clinton run for president in 2016.

Trump is in. Hillary somehow missed the mark. What happened and why?

Critics saw her reluctance to use “we” --like Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump and so many other candidates did—as evidence that her campaign was all about her, the book says. She would tend to speak about “I’ and “you” but almost never “we”

Also, she never took the blame for what happened. The email problem was not because she disclosed classified information on a non-government server. Oh, no. It was a private server, she says.  For a smart woman, she must have known that any cyber-message becomes cyber-junk. Anyone can read it.

 And her opponent in Bernie Sanders drew her away from her message.

The major problem was that Hillary couldn’t flex. She felt the rules of what worked in the past would work today. She also had a temper that is unbecoming of a candidate.

Allen and Parnes write a chronological structured account of the campaign run by Hillary. It is a book for those who want a report of just how Hillary ran her race.

I felt satisfied. I think if you were to read this book you would be also.

This book was sent to me gratis from Blogging for Books to be reviewed.

The book is published by Crown and retails for $28.00.
